Hey Tom! Well, its not unbootable, I'm currently using it <smile>. I was just
wondering if that could be the culprit behind my recent Nvidia problems. On
reflection, it was the only change I made before reinstalling everything on
to my new 60 gig HD... Methinks I'll change it back.
Thanks for your input, and I'll look Google refs over, just to further me
